I have Fedora 20 installed on my old ASUS laptop. It's been running really well until yesterday. After updating my system my touchpad pointer speed is really slow. The slider in settings -> mouse & touchpad no longer changes the pointer speed.

I have a script that uses synclient to change the speed manually but it's not quite right. I just want things as they were with the pointer speed slider working.

The only thing I can think of that might've caused this is xorg-x11-server-Xorg but I have no idea how or why. My pointer literally just went from normal speed to very slow right after this update completed. Does anyone have any insight?

I'm having the exact same problem on a system76 laptop. I was able to boot under the original Fedora20 usb, run synclient, capture the output and compare it against synclient running on the updated Fedora20. The only difference was that the updated output contained "CircularPad = 0" which was missing from the original Fedora20 output. Thanks for the tip about MinSpeed.
